Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta has been considered an important musician, architect, photographer and intermedia artist in the beginning of the third millennium - according to statements written by personalities like John Cage, Ornette Coleman, Merce Cunningham, René Berger, Lucrezia De Domizio, William Anastasi, Daniel Charles, Jon rappoport, Dove Bradshaw , Phill Niblock or William Anastasi among others.
His works are included in some of the most expressive art collections and world-wide recognised institutions like the Whitney Museum of New York, the ARS AEVI Contemporary Art Museum, the Biennial of Venice, the Cyber Art Museum of Seattle, the Kunsthaus of Zurich, the Durini Contemporary Art Collection, the Bibliotèque Nationale of Paris and the MART - Modern Art Museum of Rovereto and Trento among others. The international department of art exhibitions at MART - the largest museum of modern and contemporary art in Italy, architectural project by Mario Botta - was inaugurated with an individual exhibition of Emanuel Pimenta's works.
He develops music, architecture and urban projects using Virtual Reality and cyberspace technologies.
His concerts of music integrating visual art have been performed in various countries in the last thirty years. An important moment was his great concert at the Biennial of Sao Paulo, for four large orchestras, in 1985, side by side with John Cage, Francesco Clemente, Sandro Chia and Robert Raushemberg among others. Among his many celebrated projects around the world there are ZYKLUS, dated of 2005, which had an audience estimated in more than three hundred thousand people along fifteen days of continuous performance at the city of Locarno, in Switzerland; DEEP OCEAN, in 2005, also in Switzerland, in Lausanne, near Geneva, at the EPFL Technology Institute, with the support of NOAA - the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, of the United States; DR. JEKYLL AND MR. X, in 2004, based on the film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in its 1932 version, in Naples, Italy; ABELL2218, at the Experimental Intermedia Foundation in New York City in 2004; KIRKOS - A Dialogue Between Marcel Duchamp and Josqin des Près, in Naples, in 2004; RAWWAR in Portugal, in 2005; Leonardo - on Leonardo da Vinci's works in Switzerland, in 2007; the opera DANTE, based on Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy - the first opera on Dante Alighieri in the history of music - and many more.

In the early 1980s Emanuel Pimenta coined the concept virtual architecture, later largely used in universities all over the world.
